Breakfast in Thread: A Winter Manual

 By Avalon Swindells

Taxing is the feeling when you are trying to preserve your creative roots in personal styling but dressing for warmth seems like an inconvenience rather than an opportunity.

There is a bitter feeling about watching your favourite international brands release all seasons but Winter. Like the Mirror Palais Bikini drops that just make your heart burst, thinking of how perfect they would go with your low-rise linen skirt. As sweet as it is unbearable, the Australian Winter is among us and embracing it means finding the inspiration to evolve your style. Like your favourite flower, creativity can’t be forced, it flourishes naturally in the right environment.

Entertaining your physical senses this winter and incorporating objects and actions into your daily routine can allow a space for creativity to bloom. Perhaps, Breakfast in Thread? Feeling jersey for the cold? Might be a good time to renew those Pyjamas. Change your bed linen, find a new scent (Like the boy smells cowboy Kush, that resembles soft suede and spiced saffron). Breakfast? Seasonal fruits from the farmer’s market.

Self-care is the source of love. Make a new playlist that reflects the mood. Find a new hair style, get your nails done, give yourself a facial. Try something new; A recipe, an old film or a new genre of book. Create a Winter Mood board and Colour palette, which will essentially act as your fashion manual for the season. It might be enthused by recent trends; The way you saw a girl tie her scarf in a tik-tok video, the new crazed leather Jacket, a popular knee-high boot.

It might also be inspired by textures you’re loving, silhouettes or Materials. Incorporating your whole mood into your style is a bigger statement then just dressing for the cold. Make sure the mood is right, Create the setting this Winter with Breakfast in Thread.
